Yes this is certainly the route I'm currently going down at the moment, you see 
in places and posts from years ago that Database support was going to be 
coming, I guess it never arrived.
But any-way's there's always a way as you've stated and this is where i'm at 
now. I would like to double check if this method of a catch-all will work 
however?

Thanks all
